Dog Boarding Truax

“First time using Rover, and it was incredibly easy. Our dog was hyper at first but calmed down quickly and the stay seemed amazing. Would definitely recommend!”

Michael R.

“We are so grateful to have found Stephanie to watch our two highly energetic golden girls! She gave them lots of play time, exercise, and snuggles on the couch. She was kind, patient, and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend and we would love to bring our dogs back to her 🥰”

Christina Z.

“Great communication for booking, through their stay, and when we needed to adjust our pick up time. We received pictures of our ladies several times, which brightened our day and helped us feel at ease when we were away. They were very attentive to the different food and medication needs our ladies have. We will definitely use them again for future boarding.”

Cole O.

“Ronalisa put our minds at ease when we were out of town for a week. Our dogs were well cared for and we received regular picture and video updates!”

Charity P.

“Easy pickup and drop off, friendly, updates with pictures of my dog during her 1 week stay with them. They got her to eat her breakfast every morning and play and she's a shy nervous girl!”

Rebecca D.

“Jesse's great. He's terrific with Rosie and a great communicator. Worth every penny. He's my go-to when I have to go out of town and need dog care.”

Mark N.

“Our puppy Daisy enjoyed her stay with Skye and Switch! They played along really well and Amanda took care of her nicely. They sent photos and videos to us every day to make sure she is doing well. I would definitely consider staying again in the future.”

Moyu L.

“Paula was amazing with our dog Lou. We haven’t left him with a sitter since 2019 so this was a really hard for me. She made us feel so comfortable and I truly felt like she loved Lou. She sent daily pictures and was so quick with her responses. When I went to pick up Lou, he was just sitting there on her lap looking so content and comfortable!”

Julia L.

“Stefanie was just the sweetest sitter for our Delphi. She did a great job communicating with us while we were away, sending us cute photos, and assuring us that our sweet pup was being taken care of. I will definitely ask for Stefanie next time I need a sitter!”

About: Animals have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember—from growing up around my family’s German Shepherd breeding and training work, to years of rescuing and fostering both dogs and cats. I can provide continuous supervision, regular potty and play breaks, and plenty of outdoor exercise tailored to each dog's energy level and temperament. My home currently includes one calm, dog-friendly resident cat, making for a peaceful, low-stress environment where guest dogs receive focused care and affection. I have worked with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I am experienced with administering medications and experienced with disabled dogs. I work remotely and am home full-time with a flexible work schedule. I can provide 24/7 care for your dog or cat. I am also available for walks throughout the day and week. While boarding in my home, I am able to be available for feeding or potty breaks as needed. I am able to watch the dog or cat to see what they need when. If I am providing drop in visits or walks, my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and evenings.

“Ines was awesome! Great communication leading up to and during my puppies visit. Despite a rainy day, she found time to take Lady to the dog park and for a nice walk by the lake. She sent some great photos. Lady was well cared for and I would recommend Ines to anyone looking for a dog sitter”

Mike S.

“Remy had an amazing stay! He's a little special because of his tummy issues, so it is very hard for me to leave him at all, but it's just a little easier knowing he's in caring hands. Thank you so much for all of the photos and updates. I really appreciate all that you did to make him comfortable. Remy sends his love!”

Vianna A.

“Beatrice did a great job watching over Chopa :) She sent messages and pictures to provide updates during the boarding which was great! I would definitely reach out to her again when we need boarding service again”

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats through personal pet ownership, animal shelter volunteering, fostering, and pet sitting for friends and family. During my undergraduate years, I spent several years volunteering at animal shelters and fostering animals with a wide range of ages, personalities, and care needs. I've cared for young puppies, kittens, adult cats, senior dogs, and older rescues who were still learning potty-training routines. Through these experiences, I've become comfortable working with shy, nervous, and anxious animals, as well as dogs who need extra patience on walks or tend to pull on the leash. I also have experience with basic puppy training, reinforcing commands, managing potty-training accidents, and caring for multiple pets at once. I'm experienced with administering both oral and injectable medications, and I understand the importance of carefully following each pet's specific care instructions. I grew up caring for my family's pug, who lived to be 15 years old, and I currently have a sweet 4 year old rescue dog. I've also fostered and cared for multiple dogs and cats in my home, so I'm familiar with managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. One of the biggest things fostering has taught me is that every animal is different. Some pets want to play all day, while others prefer quiet company or need a little extra time to warm up. I love getting to know each pet individually and making sure they receive the attention, patience, and affection that works best for them! I'm currently a graduate student at UW-Madison, and one of the best parts of my schedule is that my lab allows me very flexible hours! This gives me plenty of freedom throughout the week to work around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Since I'm not tied to a traditional 9 to 5 schedule, I can make time for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight house sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, your kitten wants some extra playtime, or your furry friend just needs someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm happy to help! I also have a 4 year old rescue dog of my own, so walks, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with animals are already part of my everyday routine. I'm available most days and am happy to coordinate around your pet's usual schedule. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially those who are younger, older, or a little anxious, and I'll do my best to keep their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible. And of course, I'll always make time for plenty of cuddles, playtime, and pictures of your little fur babies! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Through my experience volunteering at animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats, I've learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets, energetic puppies, senior animals, and pets who may need a little extra attention or reassurance. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I also have experience administering oral and injectable medications and understand the importance of following the instructions provided for each pet. I live alone with my sweet 4 year old rescue dog, who gets along very well with other animals. I've also cared for multiple cats and dogs in my home before, so I understand the importance of paying attention to each pet's personality, comfort level, and boundaries. I'm mindful of keeping pets secure during walks, being attentive to their behavior, and making sure they feel comfortable in their surroundings. I also treat every client's home with care and respect. Communication is really important to me, so I'm always happy to send regular photos and updates during visits or overnight stays. I want you to be able to relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you're away!

“Caroline was an amazing host to my golden retriever, Lottie. Lottie was immediately excited to hang out with her, was sad to come home, and looked delighted in all of the photos in between. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!!”

Lindsay V.

“Very friendly and dependable. Timely communication, and great pictures and updates during the stay. Confident that Louie got lots of attention, exercise, doggy socialization, and love.”

Matt S.

“Tessa has been an absolute delight and I'm so glad to have trusted her with my Trixie. She helped celebrate Trixie's birthday and took her on so many walks and ample outside time! Highly recommend Tessa (and Tennessee)!”

Sawyer G.

“I cannot express enough gratitude and how exceptionally accommodating Kristin & Bruce (& of course their little darlings as well!) were with my little pup Ellie! It was a spur of the moment decision to check into a pup sitter while in town for my UW Madison freshman’s 1st football game & what a gem we found!! Booked the appt & met the fam w/in an hour & were so incredibly impressed & confident w/them that we modified our booking for an overnight stay! Having not planned a sitter, we showed up without her bed or paperwork yet were still fully welcomed into their home. Little Ellie (3.5 lb 5.5 mo. Yorkie) spent the day playing with the kiddos inside & out then snuggled with mom & dad all night!🥰 Since I’m now an empty nester, I honestly believe she wasn’t ready to leave when we came for pickup! She was definitely living her best life and I will, without a doubt, be booking further appointments as I pop into town for a visit!”

Carolyn T.

“Olivia was great with our senior dog. She was very responsive throughout the process, sending daily updates, which we loved receiving. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out again when I'm in need.”

Kim K.

“Mikaela took excellent care of our pup, Luna. Her home truly became Luna’s home away from home this summer. We loved receiving pictures from their walks, and Luna and Mikaela’s pup, Theo, became the best of friends! I also appreciated Mikaela’s flexibility when our travel plans were in flux. She is a wonderful sitter and so easy to work with. Luna’s looking forward to her next stay at Mikaela’s!”
